Eric Kabisch

Eric Kabisch is an artist, interaction designer, and doctoral candidate in the Department of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. His current practice investigates the varied intersections between geospatial information technologies and human geography. He builds cultural artifacts that utilize custom software systems, DIY construction and usually emit some form of sound. Through the creation of these artifacts he hopes to reconsider the process of design, enabling novel forms of use to emerge through experimental approaches and interventions into existing technological practices. Eric's previous education includes an MFA in Arts Computation Engineering (UCI), a BA in Telecommunications and Music from Indiana University, and an A.S. in Audio Technology (IU). He has professional experience in interaction design, game programming, and art direction. He has published, exhibited and received awards in forums ranging from the Inter-Society for Electronic Arts, Leonardo Electronic Almanac, the Journal of Space and Culture, ACM SigCHI, Ubicomp, IEEE Pervasive, Orange County Museum of Art, and the Los Angeles Times.
